item numbah one. so, i'm over my jealous-envy escapade. was over last week. but feel i need to say so publ-ick-ly. to prove it, here is a link to the fringe festival.
item numbah two. about a month ago my willpower waned and i suckerly became a salon premium member. and now, good lord, i can't imagine what my hesitation was about previously. no ads. ability to read all the articles. plus the fun premium benefits. said benefits has had me listening to the salon music sampler, numero quatro. and playing jeb loy nichols song "they don't know" ten times in one work-day time period. today i went out and bought the album. jury's still out, but man do i love that one song. it's weird, jeb loy seems to be an american southern boy (midwestern? maybe) who lives in london and writes semi-countrified head-boppy music. he's kinda the white shuggy otis.
item numbah three. and speekina music, i got the rising. i've never been this big springsteen fan at all. but the rfxbf is. [sidenote: status was upgraded from "stupid" to "rzzl-frzzl" which fits better]. and for a coupla years there i had to hear said rfxbf go on and on about how damn great the boss was. etc etc. anyhow, when you listen to the rising and kinda put it in septembereleven context you might find a lump in your throat and you might choke back tears while at your desk. either that or you might find yourself premenopausal. take your pic. meanwhile, my friend parker is going through his own hellish break up. and while listening i thought, wow, this is a great break up album as well. so said cd is now sitting on his desk and i hope he is listening to it.
item numbah four.
item numbah five. how to be good by nick hornby. good read. i initially wrote fun read and realized that what is fun to me is usually not so fun for others. but i like the little nuances hornby finds for his characters. they have their flaws and you love them anyway. unfortunately i find myself identifying with the converted husband... i understand the wincing he does at sarcasm after he's cut back. and then i wonder, uh-oh, am i also this obnoxious? (ahem. i'm not asking for input here; it's rhetorical folks).
item number six. wednesday was kristin's birthday, so tuesday we surprised her with all-girl pedicure party at a nails place down the street. complete with wine and the proverbial cracker snacks. but it was fun and oh the toes were damn pretty to behold afterwards. we followed this up with three or four episodes of the best of sex&the city. where the best was determined by us. (so far, all-time top two episodes are "booth bitch" and "scootin in heals" [our names for these episodes] we defy you to tell us otherwise.).
